Any items added after foo_playcount is installed will have the field set properly because it is present to detect them. Thus, the default value of %ADDED% is set to the time that the component was first loaded. Most uses of the %ADDED% field, for example, will at first return the entire media library this is because foo_playcount has no way of guessing when the files were actually added because it was not present at the time. It is important to note that the component cannot retrieve data from before it was installed therefore, it initializes statistics when it is installed. This behavior has changed in version 3.0: previous versions would fall back to reading the field from the file's tags when the corresponding field was not present in the database. If you want to display such fields from the tags of files rather than from the database, use $meta(rating) and so on in your title-formatting. Please note that foo_playcount takes over %RATING%, %PLAY_COUNT%, and all other mappings corresponding to its native fields listed above, using these mappings to return the fields from its own database rather than from files themselves. If you wish to keep the ability to revert to an older 2.x version, please back up your PlaybackStatistics.dat file before running the new component first time. If you have used an earlier version of the Playback Statistics component before, your existing data will be automatically imported on first run. This can be used to easily transfer playback statistics between different foobar2000 installations or profiles.Īs with all previous releases, this component is fully backwards compatible with databases created by any versions released publicly before. You can export playback statistics to an XML file and import them later, through Library => Playback Statistics menu commands, or through context menu on specific tracks. Note: You may need to change your fonts for the stars-formatting fields to produce readable output.ĭetailed information about Title formatting for Playback Statistics can be found here. %rating_stars_fixed% Song's rating, formatted as five stars, e.g. %rating_stars% Song's rating, formatted as up to five stars, e.g. %added% Date/time at which the song was added to the Media Library. %played_per_day% Estimate how many times per day the song has been played, based on time first played, time last played and times played. %play_count% How many times the song has been played. %last_played% Date/time at which the song was played last time. Title formatting fields %first_played% Date/time at which the song was played for the first time. A record gets removed when no matching track has been seen by foobar2000 (in Media Library or in any playlist or in an imported XML backup of playback statistics) for four weeks. Playback statistics data is no longer dropped when the tracks are removed from the media library. You can use this component without using Media Library at all, however, you should keep your non-ML music referenced from a playlist for foobar2000 to maintain the statistics. Starting from version 3.0, collection of playback statistics is no longer restricted to your Media Library content.
